South Africa and Australia are clashing against each other in the 2nd match of the 3-match T20I series at the Marrara Cricket Ground in Darwin. Both teams came into the match eager to assert dominance in the series, with South Africa looking to level the score after a defeat in the first game, with Australia leading the series 1-0.
In the midst of this intense battle, one moment of pure brilliance stole the spotlight. South African young prodigy, Dewald Brevis, smashed a breathtaking no-look six. The delivery came from Australian bowler Sean Abbott during the 10th over of the first innings, who pitched the ball up right into Brevis’s hitting zone.
Without even glancing at the trajectory, Brevis swung his bat with immense confidence, sending the ball sailing over long-on for a spectacular half-a-dozen. Brevis’s innings throughout the match was nothing short of exceptional. He anchored South Africa’s batting line-up when they lost three wickets on just 57 runs with a mix of aggression and calculated risk-taking.
At just 22 years old, he etched his name in the record books by becoming the youngest South African to score a T20 International century. What’s more, his century was the second fastest in South African T20I history, underscoring the pace and impact of his innings, achieving the milestone on just 41 deliveries.
Brevis’s explosive performance not only thrilled the home crowd but also set a solid platform for South Africa to build a competitive total against Australia. The Proteas ended up scoring 218 runs in the first innings, thanks to the century and a good knock by Tristan Stubbs (31).
Brevis hit an unbeaten 125 off 56 balls, including 12 boundaries and eight sixes. He also posted the highest individual score by a South African batter, breaking Faf du Plessis' record of 119 runs against West Indies in 2015. The home team will have to play better cricket in order to win the match because chasing down the mammoth total is most likely to be difficult.
